Chapter 110 Princess Yan Arrives in Datong Mansion
In the living room of the Datong Palace.
Zhu Gui was having evening tea with Xu Miaoqing.
Xu Miaoqing hesitated to speak several times, but in the end Zhu Gui asked in a funny way: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Why don't you look worried at all? If it's true as you said, what will happen if King Jin commits a serious crime at the emperor's birthday banquet?"
Xu Miaoqing asked, frowning.
It turned out that Zhu Gui had told her about his worries before, which actually made Xu Miaoqing, who was a little indifferent at first, worried.
Zhu Gui said helplessly: "What can I do if the king is anxious? Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday banquet. Even if it is now too late to go to Nanjing."
"Then what should I do? I can't control other people. If something happens to King Yan, what will happen to my sister?"
Xu Miaoqing almost squeezed out the water from her handkerchief. It turned out that she was worried about her sister Xu Miaoyun.
"Don't worry, I have already written to King Yan about this matter. He will definitely be prepared."
Now it was Zhu Gui's turn to comfort Xu Miaoqing.
While the two were talking, Butler Wang hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Princess Yan are here."
"Um?"
"What? My sister is here?"
Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing were both very surprised when they heard the news, and Xu Miaoqing stood up directly.
Butler Wang was about to speak when he heard a clear female voice behind him: "Is Sister Miaoqing in there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful and elegant young woman walked in from outside.
The expression on this person's face is very similar to that of Xu Miaoqing, but with a more mature and steady temperament. It is none other than Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun.
"Sister, it's really you, I miss you so much." Xu Miaoqing ran over and took Xu Miaoyun's hand and said in surprise.
The last time Xu Miaoqing went to Yanjing to ask for help, one of them wanted to meet her sister, whom she had not seen for many years. However, she met the King of Yan, Zhu Di, on the way, and finally had no chance to meet her.
Unexpectedly, Princess Yan came to Datong Mansion this time.
"You are already a princess, why are you still acting like a child?"
Although Xu Miaoyun's words were meant to be offensive, the joy on her face was not concealed at all.
However, she knew more etiquette than Bei, so she did not keep talking to Xu Miaoyun, but pulled her to Zhu Gui.
"Princess Yan Xu has met King Dai." Xu Miaoyun saluted King Dai.
Zhu Gui quickly stood up and said, "Princess Yan is serious. According to your seniority, I should call you sister-in-law."
Xu Miaoyun looked at the shy young man in front of her with some surprise. He was different from the arrogant and rude king she had imagined.
Xu Miaoyun had already prepared for the worst before coming, that is, to avoid "accidents", so she would not live in the palace.
Xu Miaoyun thought that Zhu Di asked her to come to Datong Mansion just because it was the fiefdom closest to her eyes.
But now it seems that Zhu Di made such a decision because he believed in the character of the acting king?
Xu Miaoyun nodded, and then handed a letter to Zhu Gui.
"This is what King Yan asked me to deliver to the King. I may stay at the house for a few days until King Yan returns to Yanjing."
Xu Miaoyun said gently and gracefully.
Both the speaking speed and the intonation are very comfortable to listen to, and they are the opposite extremes from the somewhat irritable Xu Miaoqing.
Zhu Gui was stunned for a moment, and then took the letter.
However, he did not open it on the spot, but immediately ordered Butler Wang to prepare a dinner for Princess Yan to cleanse herself from the dust. At the same time, the three of them also talked about things in Nanjing.
Although Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun rarely left the Yan Palace in the south, she still had access to a lot of confidential information because of her family background and status.
Although Xu Miaoyun is not someone who likes to talk about these things, she still got a lot of information under Zhu Gui's "steady guidance".
Among them, the one that concerned him the most was Zhu Biao's illness.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao is now bedridden. Although Xu Miaoyun did not make any conclusions, it can still be judged from her tone and the situation and wind direction in Nanjing that the Crown Prince may not have much time left.
This made Zhu Gui feel a little sad. What should have happened three or four years later, unexpectedly, happened earlier than expected.
Although he knew that a large part of the reason was due to changes in historical trajectory, he still had some feelings in his heart.
Especially since he originally had a way to cure Zhu Biao's disease.
Because of this, Zhu Gui seemed a little depressed during the banquet.
Xu Miaoqing didn't notice it, but Xu Miaoyun saw it.
After the banquet, Xu Miaoyun originally wanted to leave Prince Dai's Mansion and find a hotel or inn to stay.
But unable to withstand Xu Miaoqing's pull, she finally stayed in Dai Wangfu.
Only then did she know that although the acting king Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing were married, they were not married.
"Little sister, why are you so ignorant? If my father finds out about this, he will definitely be very angry." Xu Miaoyun said in a dumbfounded voice.
Xu Miaoqing curled her lips when she heard this and said, "What can I do? He is more interested in those shabby drawings than me. Do you want me to take the initiative to seduce him? Besides, he is only fourteen years old. When you get married to King Yan
King Yan is already sixteen years old."
Xu Miaoyun was startled when he heard this, and then said: "What's the comparison? The king is the prince, you are the daughter of the duke, and you are married to the emperor..."
"Sister, please stop talking. If he doesn't want me, I won't beg him." Xu Miaoqing turned her face to the other side.
Xu Miaoyun was stunned for a moment, then remembered the temper of this sister, and then changed the topic: "I heard that King Dai once rescued you from the gangsters alone? This story is so miraculous, is it false?"
When Xu Miaoyun heard Xu Miaoyun's suspicious tone, she immediately jumped up and said, "How could it be fake? There were more than a dozen of those gangsters, and they were extremely vicious. That fool Zhu Gui was stabbed to save me. In the end, not only was he not punished
Those salt dealers even recruited them as government soldiers..."
Xu Miaoqing began to talk endlessly about Zhu Gui's deeds in Yunzhou, and the more he talked about it, the brighter his face became.
Xu Miaoyun on the side saw her sister's appearance and already knew her feelings for the king of taste.
It’s just that I don’t know if it’s because the other person is too young and doesn’t understand things between men and women, or what’s going on, but he can remain indifferent to such a beautiful little girl who is by his side every day?
Xu Miaoyun was about to think in other directions.
The two sisters chatted until late at night before gradually falling asleep from exhaustion.
The next morning, Xu Miaoqing, who was full of energy, got up first. Then she went to wake Zhu Gui up and then ordered her servants to prepare breakfast.
